Recently I switched from Apple Music to Spotify free/Navidrome. I am moving my library to Navidrome slowly. I have done a similar thing in the past as well.
I noticed that both times, as well as trying out new speakers, the first song I listened to was In the End by Linkin Park, followed by their latest album.
What is yours?
Edit: Holy Shit! I was not expecting so many replies. It is not possible for me to reply to everyone right away. I will listen to each of your first songs and reply to everyone.
AC/DC - “Back in Black”
Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God
10.8 by Deadmau5 and Mr. Bill
Pure ear candy
„Rumors“ by Fleetwood Mac.
The Chain
For testing speakers, Infected Mushroom, Tame Impala and 20syl/AllttA are always good choices. Maybe Tool as well (10000 days). Song depends on what I’m most familiar with atm.
For a new library, I’d probably just choose whatever I listen to the most. Which would be The Fearless Flyers and Aesop Rock rn.
Fellow IM enjoyer in the wild! 🍄
Dark Side of the Moon and now I feel old.
Herbie Hancock - Chameleon
Then listen to the whole Head Hunters album tbh
Voodoo by Godsmack
Overture 1928 - Dream Theater
Led Zeppelin II in its entirety
Dire Straits - Walk of Life.
“6:00” by Dream Theater. It begins with a sick drum fill that pans across stereo speakers and then builds up with drums, then keyboards, then guitar/bass. It sounds fantastic cranked up on a good set of speakers!
Florence + the Machine - June
Just to open it gently
“Frank’s Wild Years”
Even god has a hell
It has a good mix of vocals and instruments. The guitar is a bit overpowering but that could be just my earphones. Lyrics are dark sad, like old Linkin Park. 8/10
The cover art is so cool.
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
I have listened to this album more times than anything else I own. I’m on my third copy of it after wearing out the original pressing I have from the 90’s and the repressing from 10 years ago. I know every sample, every soundscape, and it almost brings me to tears every time I drop the needle on it. So many memories of good times where this was the soundtrack. So many friends, now gone, walk next to me again when that album plays.
I miss you, Isaac.
Damn. It must be nice to have nostalgic music to listen to. I don’t have (at least that I am aware of) any such music. I usually cry because the symphony of the vocals is good.
This album is good but probably more so for you than me because of the nostalgia.
